National Donut Day: 7 Places To Get Free Donuts Today

I know it seems like there is a national celebration every other day now with Wine Day, Sibling Day, or even Hug a Medievalist Day. But today is by far my favorite semi-made up holiday of the year — the one day a year where you can go to Krispy Kreme and not break the bank — National Donut Day.

This o.g. national celebration began in 1938 by the Salvation Army when they decided to give out free donuts to soldiers. Today, the tradition continues with the promise of free donuts to everyone, not just soldiers.
